NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted and excluding share and per share amounts)

Note A—Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. We believe these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended December 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007. For more information regarding our results of operations and financial position refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Delta Apparel,” the “Company,” and “we,” “us” and “our” are used interchangeably to refer to Delta Apparel, Inc. together with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, M. J. Soffe Co. (“M. J. Soffe”, or “Soffe”), Junkfood Clothing Company (“Junkfood”), and our other subsidiaries, as appropriate to the context.

Note B—Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note C—New Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 permits an entity to measure at fair value any financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on our financial position and results of operations, but do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Interpretation 48”). Interpretation 48 provides clarifying guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and prescribes recognition and measurement guidance in determining amounts to be recorded in the financial statements. This Interpretation applies to all income-based tax items and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We expect to adopt Interpretation 48 on July 1, 2007, and are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our financial position and results of operations and do not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements

(“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 is effective for the fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”), which amends FASB Statement No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, Statement No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, Statement No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, and Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS 158 applies to all plan sponsors who offer defined benefit postretirement benefit plans and requires the entity to recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, to measure a defined benefit postretirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 158 will have on our financial position and results of operations and do not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note D—Acquisitions

On October 2, 2006, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fun-Tees, Inc. and its business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling private labeled knitted custom t-shirts (the “Acquisition”). The assets acquired include substantially all of the equipment, inventories, and accounts receivable of the business. The Acquisition was consummated pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 17, 2006. The aggregate consideration paid at closing for substantially all of the assets of Fun-Tees, Inc. consisted of a cash payment of $20 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including an adjustment based on the actual working capital purchased.

We funded the Acquisition through draws under our revolving credit facility, which was amended in conjunction with the Acquisition. The amendment consented to the acquisition of Fun-Tees and allowed the assets of Fun-Tees to be included as collateral on the loan. In addition, the amendment eliminated some limitations or restrictions with regards to dividend payments and stock repurchases.

Fun-Tees was founded in 1972 and is headquartered in Concord, North Carolina. We expect to integrate the FunTees textile operations into our Maiden, North Carolina facility during fiscal year 2007 and to maintain the Fun-Tees off-shore cutting, sewing and decorating facilities located in El Salvador and Campeche, Mexico.

The acquisition of FunTees was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the assets and related liabilities based on their fair values. We have identified certain intangible assets associated with the FunTees business and are currently in the process of valuing these intangibles. Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation, no goodwill is expected to be recorded in conjunction with the FunTees acquisition.

The results of FunTees’ operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The consolidated balance sheet reflects the initial purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. We are currently in the process of finalizing the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and thus the initial allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The purchase price allocation will be finalized upon refinement of certain preliminary estimates.

The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below gives effect to the FunTees acquisition as if it had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2005. Amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts. The information presented below is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of results that would have been achieved or results that may be achieved in the future.

Note F—Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Components of intangible assets are as follows:


	December 30,			Economic
	2006			Life
Goodwill	$	14,223		N/A
Intangibles:
Tradename/trademarks		1,530		20 yrs

Total intangibles		9,000


Total goodwill and intangibles		23,223
Less accumulated amortization		(666	)

	$	22,557

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 30, 2006, respectively. We estimate amortization expense will be approximately $0.2 million for the remainder of fiscal year 2007, $0.5 million for each of the fiscal years 2008 through 2010, and approximately $0.4 million in succeeding fiscal years.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, our annual test of goodwill is performed as of the end of our second fiscal quarter. We completed our annual test of goodwill as of December 31, 2005 and did not identify any impairment as a result of the test. We will complete our annual test of goodwill as of December 30, 2006 during our third fiscal quarter. We do not anticipate any impairment as a result of the annual test.

Note G—Debt

On August 22, 2005, Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent, and the financial institutions named in the Amended Loan Agreement as Lenders.

On October 2, 2006 in conjunction with the acquisition of Fun-Tees, Inc. we entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and Consent (“Amended Loan Agreement”). The Amended Loan Agreement consented to the acquisition of Fun-Tees and allowed the assets of Fun-Tees to be included as collateral on the loan. In addition, it eliminated some limitations or restrictions with regards to dividend payments and stock repurchases.

Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, our credit facility provides a line of credit of $85 million (subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided) that matures in August 2008. We expect to increase our line of credit to $90 million in our third fiscal quarter. The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on an adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. The facility requires installment payments of approximately $178,000 per month in connection with fixed asset amortizations, and these amounts reduce the amount of availability under the facility.

The credit facility contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in EITF 95-22), whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to EITF 95-22, we classify borrowings under the new facility as noncurrent debt.

In addition to the credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, we have a seller note payable to the former Junkfood shareholders pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 22, 2005. The seller note bears interest at 9% which is payable quarterly, and has a three-year term. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we made the first annual principal payment of $0.5 million. At December 30, 2006, we had $2.0 million outstanding under the seller note.

Note H—Selling, General and Administrative Expense

We include in selling, general and administrative expenses, costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities, such as the cost of stocking, warehousing, picking and packing, and shipping goods for delivery to our customers. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to sales associates, administrative personnel cost, advertising and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses. For the second quarter of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, distribution costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, distribution costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $6.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

Note I—Stock Options and Incentive Stock Awards

We maintain certain stock-based compensation plans that are described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders. Effective July 3, 2005, we adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of Statement 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). No options were granted under the Delta Apparel Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”) or the Delta Apparel Incentive Stock Award Plan (“Award Plan”) during the quarter ended December 30, 2006.

Option Plan

We expensed $0.2 million in each of the second quarters of fiscal years 2007 and 2006 in conjunction with our Option Plan. For the first six months of each of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we expensed $0.4 million. As of December 30, 2006, there was $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options under the Option Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years. Stock compensation expense is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items of our statements of income on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods.

Award Plan

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, we did not record any compensation expense associated with our Award Plan. Compensation expense recorded under the Award Plan was $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. For the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, we expensed $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in conjunction with our Award Plan. Stock compensation expense is included in our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense line items of our statements of income over the vesting periods. As of December 30, 2006, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards under the Award Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 0.7 years.

Note J—Purchase Contracts

We have entered into agreements, and have fixed prices, to purchase natural gas, yarn, finished fabric and finished apparel products for use in our manufacturing operations. At December 30, 2006, minimum payments under these non-cancelable contracts were as follows:


Natural gas	$	551
Yarn		20,042
Finished fabric		588
Finished apparel products		622

	$	21,803

Note K—Computation of Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS)

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options and non-vested stock awards granted under our Option Plan and our Award Plan unless such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Note L—Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

We have authorization from our Board of Directors to spend up to an aggregate of $11.0 million for share repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program. All purchases are made at the discretion of our management. We did not purchase shares of our common stock during the three months ended December 30, 2006. Since the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program, we purchased 856,871 shares of our common stock pursuant to the program for an aggregate of $6.2 million. As of December 30, 2006, $4.8 million remains available for future purchases.

Quarterly Dividend Program

On October 27, 2006 our Board declared a cash dividend of five cents per share of common stock pursuant to our quarterly dividend program. We paid the dividend on November 27, 2006 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2006. On January 18, 2007, our Board declared a cash dividend of five cents per share of common stock which is payable on February 26, 2007 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2007. Although the Board may terminate or amend the program at any time, we currently expect to continue the quarterly dividend program.

Note M—Segment Reporting

We operate our business in two distinct segments: activewear apparel and retail-ready apparel. Although the two segments are similar in their production processes and regulatory environment, they are distinct in their economic characteristics, products and distribution methods.

The activewear apparel segment comprises our business units primarily focused on garment styles that are characterized by low fashion risk. We market, distribute and manufacture unembellished knit apparel under the brands of “Delta Pro Weight^®”, “Delta Magnum Weight™” and “Quail Hollow™.” The products are primarily sold to screen printing companies. In addition, we manufacture products under private labels for retailers, corporate industry programs and sports licensed apparel marketers. The newly acquired FunTees business is included in the activewear apparel segment.

The retail-ready apparel segment comprises our business units primarily focused on more specialized apparel garments to meet consumer preferences and fashion trends. These embellished and unembellished products are sold through specialty and boutique stores, high-end and mid-tier retail stores and sporting goods stores. In addition to these retail channels, we also supply college bookstores and produce products for the U.S. Military. Our products in the retail-ready apparel segment are marketed under the brands of “Soffe^®”, “Junkfood^®”, “Sweet and Sour^®” and “Intensity Athletics^®”.

Corporate and Unallocated is a reconciling category for reporting purposes and includes intercompany eliminations and other costs that are not allocated to the operating segments.

Our management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before interest, income taxes and special charges (“Segment Operating Income”). Our Segment Operating Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in Note B. Intercompany transfers between operating segments are transacted at cost and have been eliminated within the segment amounts shown below.

Information about our operations as of and for the three months ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, by operating segment, is as follows:

Note O—Extraordinary Gain

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an extraordinary gain associated with the final earn-out payment made to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. In the purchase accounting for Soffe in October 2003, we recorded a liability for the contingent earn-out payments. Based on the final outcome of the payments, we had a $1.1 million accrual remaining. The reversal of this accrual created an extraordinary gain, net of taxes, of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Note P—Other Items

We assign a portion of our trade accounts receivable at our Junkfood division under a factor agreement. The assignment of these receivables is without recourse, provided that the customer orders are approved by the factor prior to shipment of the goods, up to a maximum for each individual account. The agreement does not include provisions for advances from the factor against the assigned receivables. The factor funds the accounts receivable upon collection, or, exclusive of disputed claims, upon 90 days after the due date.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

For the second fiscal quarter, our sales increased 26.4%, to a record $72.9 million. The sales increase was driven from the addition of FunTees and sales growth in Soffe, offset by lower sales in the Delta catalog and Junkfood businesses. While we were disappointed with our Delta catalog sales of basic t-shirt products, we were successful in increasing our selling prices and reducing freight incentives, which are important steps in our plans to improve our results in our activewear segment. On October 2, 2006 we completed our acquisition of FunTees. Revenue in this business, along with our existing private label business, met our expectations for the quarter. We are in the process of consolidating all of our private label business into the FunTees operations and expect the private label business will be a significant contributor to our sales and earnings growth in the future.

We expect the FunTees business will give us additional volume to further leverage our fixed manufacturing cost. FunTees also provides us with offshore decorating operations, allowing us to provide more value-added services to our existing customers and to new customers looking for a full package offering. In the second half of fiscal 2007, we should complete the transfer of the FunTees fabric production to our existing Delta facilities, which is expected to reduce fixed cost by over $2 million annually, beginning in fiscal year 2008 as these lower-cost products flow through sales. We also believe there are cost savings opportunities in the sewing and printing facilities located in Mexico and El Salvador. In the short-term, we

believe we can improve our cost by $0.5 million annually, with additional savings available on a longer-term basis. We are also focusing on information system integrations, which are expected to be completed over the next year. In addition to cost savings, the system integration benefits also includes improved production planning and inventory management and additional manufacturing information which should assist in operating our facilities more efficiently.

During the second quarter, we continued our progress on our initiative to build a new, state-of-the-art textile facility in Honduras. This plant should ultimately produce approximately one million pounds of fabric a week primarily supporting our activewear segment. We expect production to begin in the facility in the first half of fiscal year 2008. At full production, we expect this investment to improve our fabric cost by approximately $7 million over our current cost structure.

Through these initiatives, we believe our activewear segment can generate operating margins in the 8% to 10% range. The improved profitability, combined with better inventory management, should allow us to generate a return on investment in the activewear segment above the typical apparel industry.

In our retail-ready segment, our Soffe business performed well during the quarter and their merchandise continues to enjoy strong sell-through at retail. We expect our merchandising strategies to continue to drive consumer demand for our products and attract additional retailers of our product. Apparel sales at most of Junkfood’s customer base, particularly the specialty chain stores, continue to be weak. Sales of premium licensed t-shirts remain slow, and retailers are cautious of adding additional products or vendors. As such, we have reduced our sales outlook in the Junkfood business in the second half of this fiscal year based on the weakness that we continue to see at retail. We are developing new licensed and non- licensed products and have received positive results from our test shipments. Our kids and infants lines have continued to grow and we are currently taking steps to further develop our men’s offerings.

On a longer term view we remain very encouraged with the opportunities we see with our retail-ready segment. Although the higher gross margins in the branded business are somewhat offset by higher marketing, distribution and royalty costs, we believe this segment will continue to generate strong operating margins and produce an impressive return on the capital invested in the business. To drive growth in this segment, we plan to develop several of the less known brands that we currently own, including Sweet & Sour and Junk Mail which are a part of Junkfood business, and Intensity Athletics and Cape Fear in the Soffe business. Although brand building can be a slow process, we believe the long-term results can be significant. Over the long-term, we expect this business segment to produce operating margins in the 13 to 15% range. While we are currently operating at the low-end of this range, we see opportunity for improvement as we build our brands and continue to improve our cost structure.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

For the third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2007, we expect sales to be in the range of $84 to $88 million and diluted earnings to be in the range of $0.31 to $0.35 per share. This compares to the prior year third fiscal quarter actual sales of $69.4 million and diluted earnings of $0.31 per share. We expect diluted earnings to be higher for the third quarter of 2007 than in the prior year third quarter due primarily to higher sales expectations for our Soffe business and the FunTees acquisition. For the full fiscal year, we expect net sales to be in the range of $315 to $330 million and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.33 to $1.46. This compares to fiscal year 2006 net sales of $270.1 million and diluted earnings of $1.71 per share. Overall we remain cautious of the current weak retail demand and have considered this as we plan our business for the second half of fiscal year 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 increased 26.4% to $72.9 million compared to $57.7 million for the second quarter of the prior year. In the activewear segment, sales increased by 65.2% from the acquisition of the FunTees business, offset partially by a decline of approximately 9% in the core Delta activewear business. Average selling prices improved by 3.8% from the prior year second quarter, but were offset by a 12.6% decline in unit volume in the Delta catalog business being driven by lower volumes in the basic t-shirt products. Retail-ready apparel sales declined 11.5% to $25.9 million, driven by lower sales in the Junkfood business. While Junkfood sales improved from the first quarter of fiscal 2007, they were lower than their second quarter prior year level. In the prior year second quarter, Junkfood achieved dramatic sales growth, selling almost twice its historical levels. The Soffe business continued to increase its sales, achieving over a 22% increase in sales from its prior year second quarter. For the six months ended December 30, 2006, net sales increased 14.7% to $135.6 million compared to $118.3 million in the prior year. The sales increase was driven by the acquisition of

FunTees and to a lesser degree by sales growth in the Soffe business, offset by lower sales in the Delta activewear and Junkfood businesses.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.1% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 from 31.7% in the second quarter of the prior year. The 960 basis point decline was primarily the result of higher raw material prices, lower sales in the higher margin licensed apparel products and additional costs incurred from the integration of FunTees’ textile operations. The addition of FunTees reduced overall gross margins in the second fiscal quarter as sales from its private label business carry lower gross margins than our branded business. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 24.6% for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 from 31.3% in the prior year period, for the same reasons as described above. Our gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold and we exclude a portion of them from gross margin and include them in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including the provision for bad debts, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $13.6 million, or 18.7% of sales, compared to $13.8 million, or 23.9% of sales for the same period in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales declined 520 basis points due to the lower costs associated with the FunTees business and lower management incentive expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including the provision for bad debts, for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 were $27.5 million, or 20.3% of sales, compared to $26.5 million, or 22.4% of sales for the same period in the prior year. The lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales in the second fiscal 2007 quarter were offset by increased general and administrative expenses associated with the Junkfood business in the first fiscal 2007 quarter, as the Junkfood business was included in operations for the full thirteen weeks in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 as compared to only six weeks in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 44.9%, from $4.5 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Operating income for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 decreased to $5.9 million, or 43.6%, from $10.5 million for the first six months of the prior year. The decreases were primarily the result of the factors previously described.

Other income for the three months ended December 30, 2006 was $42 thousand compared to other income of $0.4 million in the second quarter of the prior year. In the three months ended December 31, 2005, we recorded $0.4 million related to a gain on an insurance recovery related to Hurricane Katrina.

Net interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $1.5 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 48.6%, from $1.0 million for the prior year second quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the higher debt levels resulting from the acquisition of FunTees. Interest rates also increased during fiscal year 2007 from fiscal year 2006 by approximately 130 basis points, contributing to the higher interest expense.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 30, 2006 was 38.4%, compared to 37.6% for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2006. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 30, 2006 is higher than for the year ended July 1, 2006 primarily as a result of a lower percentage of permanent income deductions associated with offshore operations during the six months ended December 30, 2006.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we recorded an extraordinary gain associated with the final earn-out payment made to the former M. J. Soffe shareholders. This extraordinary gain, net of taxes, was $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

Accounts receivable decreased $10.8 million from July 1, 2006 to $36.7 million on December 30, 2006. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily the result of lower sales during the quarter ended December 30, 2006 compared to the quarter ended July 1, 2006, partially offset by higher days sales outstanding. In addition, receivables on December 30, 2006 included $10.0 million related to FunTees.

Inventories increased $28.2 million from July 1, 2006 to $131.9 million on December 30, 2006. The increase in inventory is primarily the result of the acquisition of FunTees. In addition, our inventory levels increase in the second fiscal quarter as we prepare for the spring selling season. We monitor our inventory levels closely and adjust our production schedules to manage our overall inventory levels.

Capital expenditures in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 were $1.8 million compared to $1.5 million in the second

quarter of the prior year. Capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal year 2007 totaled $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million in the first six months of the prior year. Capital expenditures in fiscal year 2007 primarily related to upgrades in information technology systems, the integration of FunTees operations and maintenance capital in our textile operations. The expenditures in the prior year primarily related to our new West Coast distribution center and investments to lower our costs in our manufacturing facilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary cash needs are for working capital, capital expenditures, and debt repayments. In addition, we use cash to fund our dividend payments and share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program.

We have an $85 million credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent. We expect to increase the availability under our credit facility to $90 million in our third fiscal quarter. Availability under our credit facility is subject to borrowing base limitations based on the value and type of collateral provided. The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the real and personal property of Delta Apparel, Junkfood, and M. J. Soffe Co. All loans under the credit agreement bear interest at rates based on an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin or the bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin. The facility requires installment payments of approximately $178,000 per month in connection with fixed asset amortizations, and these amounts reduce the amount of availability under the facility. Our credit facility contains limitations on, or prohibitions of, cash dividends. We are allowed to make cash dividends in amounts such that the aggregate amount paid to shareholders since May 16, 2000 does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of our cumulative net income calculated from May 16, 2000 to the date of determination.

On October 2, 2006 in conjunction with the acquisition of Fun-Tees, Inc. we amended our loan agreement. The amendment consented to the acquisition of Fun-Tees and allowed the assets of Fun-Tees to be included as collateral on the loan. In addition, it eliminated some limitations or restrictions with regards to dividend payments and stock repurchases.

At December 30, 2006, we had $76.4 million outstanding under our credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association, at an average interest rate of 6.9%.

Pursuant to the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement related to the October 2003 Soffe acquisition, amounts were payable to the prior shareholders of M. J. Soffe if specified financial performance targets were met by M. J. Soffe Co. during the annual period beginning on October 2, 2005 and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Earnout Amount”). The Earnout Amount was capped at a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 million and was payable five business days subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2007. Based on the financial performance achieved, we paid the final Earnout Amount of $2.4 million to the prior shareholders of M. J. Soffe in November 2006.

As part of the consideration of the acquisition of Junkfood, additional amounts are payable to the Junkfood sellers during each of fiscal years 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 if financial performance targets are met by Junkfood during the period beginning on August 22, 2005 and ending on July 1, 2006 and during each of the three fiscal years thereafter (ending on June 27, 2009). During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we paid $3.3 million to the former Junkfood shareholders related to the earnout period ended July 1, 2006. Based on current projections, we do not anticipate paying an

earnout payment related to the earnout period ending June 30, 2007. Any contingent consideration that may be earned related to the earnout period ending June 30, 2007 will be accrued on June 30, 2007, when the contingency has been resolved.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million and $3.5 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our cash flow from operating activities is primarily due to net income plus depreciation and amortization and changes in working capital. We monitor changes in working capital by analyzing our investment in accounts receivable and inventories and by the amount of accounts payable. During the first six months of fiscal year 2007, our cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily from an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrueds, partially offset by net income plus depreciation, non-cash compensation, and a decrease in accounts receivables. At the end of fiscal year 2006, we were granted extended terms with certain vendors which were then paid during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The increase in inventory levels is primarily due to the seasonality of our business as we typically increase our inventory levels in the second quarter of the fiscal year in preparation for the spring selling season. The cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2006 was primarily from net income plus depreciation and amortization and a decrease in accounts receivables, offset partially by an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Cash Flows

During the six months ended December 30, 2006, we used $2.9 million in cash for purchases of property, plant and equipment, primarily related to upgrades in information technology systems, the integration of the FunTees operations and maintenance capital in our textile operations. On October 2, 2006, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fun-Tees, Inc. We paid $20 million in cash at closing, plus acquisition costs. In addition, we paid $3.3 million to the former Junkfood shareholders related to the earnout period ended July 1, 2006 and paid $2.4 million to the prior shareholders of M.J. Soffe based on the financial performance achieved for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. This is the final earn-out payment due to the former M.J. Soffe shareholders. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, we acquired the Junkfood business for $27.4 million and Intensity Athletics, Inc. for $0.8 million, inclusive of direct costs associated with the acquisitions. In addition, we used $2.7 million in cash for purchases of property, plant and equipment and invested $1.4 million in a joint venture in Honduras.

We have also begun our offshore textile manufacturing initiative in which we plan to open Ceiba Textiles, a state-of-the-art facility located in the Green Valley Industrial Park near San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The facility will knit, dye, finish, cut and sew fabrics into apparel, primarily for the Activewear segment of our business. We expect the facility will be completed during fiscal year 2007 and production will begin during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Production levels are expected to build to 500,000 pounds per week during fiscal year 2008 and increase to one million pounds per week in fiscal year 2009. We expect the total capital investment in Ceiba Textiles will be approximately $25 million, which includes the cost of constructing the building, which we will be leasing from the Green Valley Industrial Park. In addition to transferring some of our existing equipment from the United States to Honduras, we expect to invest approximately $15 million over the next three years in new equipment for the facility. The new capital is expected to be financed through a local Honduran bank.

During fiscal year 2007, we expect to spend a total of approximately $10 million on capital expenditures, which includes approximately $5 million of capital investment in Ceiba Textiles.

Financing Activities

For the first six months of fiscal year 2007, cash provided by financing activities was $26.4 million primarily related to proceeds from our revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, financing activities provided $29.4 million in cash, primarily related to proceeds from our revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank, National Association. The proceeds were primarily used for the acquisition of Fun Tees, Inc on October 2, 2006. We paid dividends to our shareholders totaling $0.9 million and $0.7 million in the first six months of fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Based on our expectations, we believe that our $85 million credit facility should be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable working capital needs and that the cash flow generated by our operations and funds available under our credit facility should be sufficient to service our debt payment requirements, to satisfy our day-to-day working capital needs, to fund our planned capital expenditures, to fund purchases of our stock as described below, and to fund the payment of dividends as described

below. We do, however, anticipate that we will amend our credit facility in the third quarter to increase our credit facility from $85 million to $90 million. The purpose of the increase is to give us greater flexibility to make share repurchases in the future. Any material deterioration in our results of operations, however, may result in us losing our ability to borrow under our credit facility and to issue letters of credit to suppliers or may cause the borrowing availability under the facility to be insufficient for our needs.

Purchases by Delta Apparel of its Own Shares

During the six months ended December 30, 2006, we purchased 28,870 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $0.5 million. All purchases are made at the discretion of our management. No shares of our common stock were purchased during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Since the inception of the Stock Repurchase Program through December 30, 2006, we have purchased 856,871 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $6.2 million. We have authorization from our Board of Directors to spend up to $11.0 million for share repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of December 30, 2006, $4.8 million remains available for future purchases.

Dividend Program

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the adequacy of receivable and inventory reserves, self-insurance accruals, accounting for share-based compensation, and the accounting for income taxes.

The detailed Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is included in Note B to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, title has transferred to the customer, the price is fixed and determinable and the collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of discounts and provisions for estimated returns and allowances. We estimate returns and allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical and current trends. We record these costs as a reduction to net revenue. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer credit-worthiness or weakening economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectibility of receivables and our operating results.

Inventories

Our inventory is carried at the lower of FIFO cost or market. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for damaged, excess and out of style or otherwise obsolete inventory based primarily on our historical selling prices for these products and our estimated forecast of product demand for the next twelve months. If actual market

conditions are less favorable than those projected, or if liquidation of the inventory is more difficult than anticipated, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Self Insurance

Our medical, prescription and dental care benefits are primarily self-insured. Our self-insurance accruals are based on claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported. We develop estimates of claims incurred but not reported based upon the historical time it takes for a claim to be reported and historical claim amounts. While the time it takes for a claim to be reported has been declining, if claims are greater than we originally estimate, or if costs increase beyond what we have anticipated, our recorded reserves may not be sufficient, and it could have a significant impact on our operating results.

Share-Based Compensation

We adopted the fair value based method prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective July 3, 2005. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the award vesting period. We determine the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. This model requires that we estimate a risk-free interest rate, the volatility of the price of our common stock, the dividend yield, and the expected life of the options. The use of a different estimate for any one of these components could have a material impact on the amount of calculated compensation expense.

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities measured by enacted tax rates. We have recorded deferred tax assets for certain state operating loss carryforwards and nondeductible accruals. We established a valuation allowance related to certain of the state operating loss carryforward amounts in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. We continually review the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognize the benefits of deferred tax assets if reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized based on earnings forecasts in the respective tax locations. As of December 30, 2006, we had operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million for state tax purposes. The valuation allowance against the operating loss carryforwards was $177 thousand at December 30, 2006. These carryforwards expire at various intervals through 2020.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2006.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

COMMODITY RISK SENSITIVITY

On January 5, 2005, in conjunction with the sale of our yarn spinning facility in Edgefield, South Carolina, we entered into a five-year agreement with Parkdale to supply our yarn requirements. During this five-year period, we will purchase from Parkdale all yarn required by Delta Apparel and our wholly owned subsidiaries for use in our manufacturing operations (excluding yarns that Parkdale did not manufacture as of the date of the agreement in the ordinary course of its business or due to temporary Parkdale capacity restraints). The purchase price of yarn is based upon the cost of cotton plus a fixed conversion cost. Thus, we are subject to the commodity risk of cotton prices and cotton price movements which could result in unfavorable yarn pricing for us. We fix the cotton prices as a component of the purchase price of yarn with Parkdale, pursuant to the supply agreement, in advance of the shipment of finished yarn from Parkdale. Prices are set according to prevailing prices, as reported by the New York Cotton Exchange, at the time we elect to fix specific cotton prices.

Yarn with respect to which we have fixed cotton prices at December 30, 2006 was valued at $20.0 million, and is scheduled for delivery between January 2007 and June 2007. At December 30, 2006, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.4 million on the value of the yarn. At July 1, 2006, a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a negative impact of approximately $1.7 million on the value of the yarn. The impact of a 10% decline in the market price of the cotton covered by our fixed price yarn would have had a smaller impact at December 30, 2006 than at July 1, 2006 due to having less fixed price yarn at December 30, 2006 than at July 1, 2006.

We may use derivatives, including cotton option contracts, to manage our exposure to movements in commodity prices. We do not designate our options as hedge instruments upon inception. Accordingly, we mark to market changes in the fair market value of the options as other income or expense in the statements of income. We did not own any cotton options contracts on December 30, 2006.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Our credit agreement provides that outstanding amounts bear interest at variable rates. If the amount of outstanding indebtedness at December 30, 2006 under the revolving credit facility had been outstanding during the entire three months ended December 30, 2006 and the interest rate on this outstanding indebtedness were increased by 100 basis points, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 12.9% of actual interest expense, during the quarter. This compares to an increase of $0.5 million, or 12.6% of actual interest expense, for the 2006 fiscal year, or an average of $0.1 million per quarter, based on the outstanding indebtedness at July 1, 2006. The actual increase in interest expense resulting from a change in interest rates would depend on the magnitude of the increase in rates and the average principal balance outstanding.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 30, 2006 and, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the evaluation date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Based on that evaluation, we have concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are currently evaluating the internal control over financial reporting at FunTees and Junkfood Clothing Company and expect that we will take action to strengthen the internal control over financial reporting at FunTees and Junkfood Clothing Company during the current fiscal year.
